Here we listed Pantera band facts
1- At the age of 14, Philip Anselmo burned a portion of his parents’ house down during a prank gone horribly wrong. Hear the story straight from Anselmo himself right here:
2-The C.F.H. tattooed on the side of Philip Anselmo’s head stands for — you guessed it —‘Cowboys From Hell.’ Dimebag Darrell sported a similar tattoo on his shoulder.
3- Pantera started out as a family operation. Darrell and Vinnie’s father, Jerry Abbott, produced and engineered their albums, then released them through the band’s own independent label, Metal Magic.
4- Another ‘Reinventing the Steel’ song, ‘Death Rattle,’ was used in an episode of Spongebob Squarepants, entitled ‘Pre-Hibernation Week.’
5- Metal Magic’ was also the title of Pantera’s 1983 debut album — a play on the band’s original full name, Pantera’s Metal Magic.
6-Anton Crowley, who played guitar on cult death metal band, Necrophagia’s 1999 album, ‘Holocausto de la Morte,’ was actually Philip Anselmo, operating under a pseudonym for legal reasons.
7- Pantera self-financed two music videos during their glam era, fronted by original singer Terrence Lee Glaze: ‘All Over Tonight,’ from 1984’s ‘Projects in the Jungle’ and ‘Hot and Heavy,’ from ’85’s ‘I Am the Night’. You may be surprised at what you see and hear
8- The ‘Trendkill’ song ‘13 Steps to Nowhere,’ features guest backing vocals by Seth Putnam, notorious singer with New England grind core favorites Anal C—t.
9- Before he mastered the bass, Rex Brown learned to play the piano and was a big fan of ragtime composer Scott Joplin. Even after embracing rock (inspired by ZZ Top, Def Leppard and others), Rex played bass with his high school jazz band and was even offered a college scholarship to study jazz.
10- After parting ways with Terrence Lee Glaze, Pantera briefly worked with singer Rick Mythiasin of power metal band Steel Prophet, until eventually hooking up with long-time frontman Philip Anselmo.
11- While the band recorded 1996’s ‘The Great Southern Trendkill’ in Dallas, Philip Anselmo cut his vocals back in New Orleans — in Trent Reznor’s studio, no less. However, Anselmo told us he was with the band for the writing sessions.
12- Around this time, Pantera briefly feuded with Kerrang! Magazine, after the powerful heavy metal weekly printed an unflattering cartoon of drummer Vinnie Paul, subtitled “You fat bastard!” Luckily, cooler heads prevailed.
